On Emacs 22.2, Win XP, with the following settings

(setq browse-url-firefox-program "C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/firefox.exe")
(setq browse-url-browser-function 'browse-url-firefox)

clicking on a link, or M-x browse-url-at-point launches F'fox with 2
tabs having the same link.

The *Messages* buffer just show

browse-url-firefox
Loading browse-url...done
Starting Firefox...

that's it.  How do I fix this?  And I just checked Emacs-22.1, I get
the same behaviour there too.
